My new bike’s Avinox account is still bricked
Sent log reports to them Thursday.
That's very unfortunate. You seem to be handling it well. Must be driving you crazy having that bad boy in hands and not being able to ride it!

One thing I can say about Troydon and the team at Crestline bikes, they offer outstanding customer service and I'm sure he's doing everything he can to assist and incorporate lessons learning so it doesn't happen again in the future.

Would be interested in hearing your thoughts about how the bike rides once you see it in action.

Dirtspeed!
 
“Non Official Battery” notification still persists despite updates.

Has anyone else experienced this with their Crestline? I’ve been told that this is being brought up on the Crestline Facebook User Group?

Note: this enquiry is on behalf of a friend with an Amflow PX, I’m just trying to get a bit more info on this for him.

Thanks.
A update was released last night that I believe might of fixed the fault 🤞

Yes Troydon as always has been in constant communication.
My awesome local bike shop here in So Cal (C Street Bikes) Ian has also been extremely helpful with pulling data directly from the bike and talking to Jay at Avinox.
He says their team is working on it.
I’m hoping for a proper resolution asap.
I’ve only pedaled outside at the shop so far.in demo mode I can’t really do any customization yet.. also the bike is probably set to European speed in the software so power speed is capped at 15mph and can’t be fixed until I have a proper account paired.
I’m hoping to ride it on a trail later today and get a proper experience.

#84/150 Speed Shop Edition. 1st ride today was great, no issues. All bugs must be fixed as of now. Insanely fast on take off, going to be a learning curve on this one for me.

Fantastic looking bike! Raw finish looks amazing. Sure it's even better in person. Curious to know how it compares to your previous emtb?

Took me a few rides to dial in all the various settings on the M2S motor on my Zendit. I actually slowed down the responsiveness of the take off in the primary mode I ride in and have a custom "climbing" mode I created for slow technical terrain that has moderate power (for an Avinox), high torque and responsiveness on high.

Waiting anxiously for my Speed Shop Team Edition to arrive. Have some custom components from ~ 5 different countries that are a little outside the box😉

I like the raw look for sure. My other bike is a Levo SL. It’s lighter and climbs pretty well but as far as the torque difference the Crestline is off the charts. I have only gotten one 8 mile ride so far but I plan on playing with the setting and make a custom mode.
 
I managed to get a taste/nice sunset ride today on Mt Wilson in demo mode.
I think you get about 30 miles in demo then you gotta log into your account which Avinox is working on a fix.
Speed capped at 15mph because I’m locked out and it’s in euro mode.
The new Zeb and vivid felt pretty darn good first ride.might swap to my DVO at some point but I’m going to give it a good go first.
Waay quieter and smoother power than my Bosch s180.definitely a big step up towards feeling more like an analog bike.i sold my murdered out Nomad 6 about two weeks ago.dont think im going to miss it much.it went to better rider than me anyways (Birdz/Daniel @YouTube)
Power delivery even in stock mode feels amazing.
Troydon just steps it up with every new version.
I’d imagine we’re heading towards the new gearless stuff in a year or two.
Mind blowing where things are headed.
